Man hires prostitute

As if !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay I admit that was a pretty lame attempt at an april fool's prank - I kinda realised a bit late (after being pranked meself) that it was the 1st of April (booze allegedly kills your braincells. hence, memory loss) and came up with a not really very creative "goodbye" post.

Thanks for your comments though (Lucy, if I bump into you in Dubai it aint gonna be nice sunshine). One thing I've noticed - Jon, V, Sarah, you could help me out here... How do you guys get so many comments on your posts?? My comments tab has never hit double figures... That might be down to the the fact that I do post on average, 5 different bits every day so its pretty fast moving and none of my posts manage to accumulate more than 5-6 comments.

It might be down to the fact that V, Jon and Sarah's blogs are more interesting and definately more personal. Which brings me to the question...What kind of blogs do you guys enjoy reading?

Is it those online sex journals with nasty details of stuff people do (or wish they did) or is it blogs like Goose's and Badger's which provide light entertainment, pictures of women's tits, useful information on drugs and how to make bombs and the odd news / information piece.

When I started this, I tried to keep it to (very few) personal experiences, lots of Liverpool FC news, funny and weird pics and articles, alongwith some serious and thought provoking stuff on the atrocities committed in the name of liberation and freedom in Iraq and Palestine. That way there would be something for everyone. And somewhere along the way COCONUT MAN happened. (who actually read the whole thing?)

What do YOU think? Do I continue on the same pattern? Do you want to see more naked women and bar jokes? Or do you want more coverage of Iraq/Palestine/Afghanistan? I know its probably a long shot but have you seen anything on my blog that has stuck to your memory for being either too funny, too in your face, too weird or too depressing?

How fast can ya type?

Some newer jokes

A young boy passes by a group of hookers every day on his way home from school. The hookers always wave at him with their pinkies and say, "Hi there, little boy!"One day the boy stopped and asked one of the hookers why they always wave at him with their pinkies. "Well," replies the hooker, "that is what size we imagine your penis to be. It's just a joke!"

The next day on his way home, the hookers repeat the tradition. The boy stops, throws his school books to the ground, sticks all of his fingers in his mouth, stretches his lips really wide and mumbles, "Hi there, ladies!"

"In English," the linguistics professor instructed his class, "a double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative.

"However," he pointed out, "there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative."

'The weapons never existed. It's like having a loved one sentenced to death for a crime they didn't commit- having your country burned and bombed beyond recognition, almost. Then, after two years of grieving for the lost people, and mourning the lost sovereignty, we're told we were innocent of harboring those weapons. We were never a threat to America...

Congratulations Bush- we are a threat now. '

Bush's actions now - will result in countless more Osama Bin Laden's who are growing up in Iraq, in Afghanistan, and in Palestine watching America torture their dads, rape their sisters, destroy their homes, and murder their families. Imagine the hatred towards America and Israel that they are growing up with.

Are they justified in hating America to the extent that they'll risk their lives to inflict as much pain as possible on their 'enemy'?

Israeli officer who killed UK journalist faces minor charges

Chris McGreal in JerusalemThursday March 10, 2005

The Israeli army has told the family of a British journalist killed in the Gaza Strip that the soldier responsible will face only minor disciplinary charges, despite the investigators' suspicion that he illegally shot James Miller two years ago.

Miller's widow Sophy said the family intended to bring a civil action for damages against the Israeli army and to seek a judicial review of the decision not to prosecute the soldier for murder.

"I think to keep people waiting for two years only to deliver nothing is an outrage," she said.

"They presented it as if they have gone to every length to secure the truth, that they've left no stone unturned, but at the same time failed to even secure the evidence the night James was killed."

Miller, an award-winning film producer and cameraman, was shot dead in Rafah refugee camp as he and the rest of a documentary team tried to pass by an armoured vehicle.

He was waving a white flag and shouting that he was a journalist, but it was dark. The armoured vehicle's commander, a lieutenant who has not been named, fired 11 bullets, two of which struck Miller in the neck.

In its first account of the killing the army said the armoured vehicle was under fire at the time, but video footage showed this to be untrue. The army altered its version twice more, effectively shifting responsibility to the victim, but these accounts were also shown to be false.

I admire Ken Livingstone. These days anything you say against Israel, automatically gets labelled as anti-semetic and racist. But old Ken doesn't give a shit even though he's the mayor of a city with a fairly big Jewish population. He speaks his mind and infact clarifies his stance on Israel, and differentiates between anti-semitism and opposing Israel's policies in the Middle East.

Most people (myself included) don't have a problem with Jews. I've got a few Jewish mates and we get along perfectly fine. Its Israel that we have a problem with.

Happy Easter

Mugshots

No seriously - I did. Mad, that woz. I know I wasn't even born then but thats the beauty of a little bit of alcohol, you end up doing shit which never should've happened in the first place!!

Like yesterday, almost midnight it woz and there I woz walking down the road talking on the phone when I tried to jump over a little fence (about a yard in height) when my foot got caught in the chain and it was as if in slow-motion... First me left knee hits the tarmac, followed closely by my left hand, then my left knee and then the right elbow before I finally let go of the bloody phone.

What an absolutely CRAP way to end an otherwise MAD birthday.

Needless to say, I need a new phone now. Any suggestions? Only Nokias and Sony Ericssons please.

Dubai World Cup

To celebrate EvilD's birthday in Grand style, the ruling sheikhs threw a big bash and present were the who's who of Dubai's social scene. Oh and they also had a little horse-race calling it the Dubai World Cup, The richest races on the planet. Here's how the press covered it.

Every sector of Dubai society is represented at the race meeting which has a total prize purse of $15.25 million (£8.15m). Continue reading...
